A5When Dcold wind is-a callingG, and the sky is Dclear and bright,A
Misty Bmmountains Asing and Gbeckon, lead me Dout into the Alight.
I will Bmride; I will Gfly,
Chase the Dwind, and Atouch the Bmsky.
I will Gfly,
Chase the wind, anDd touch the skAy. D

Bm G A
AWhere Ddark woods hide Gsecrets,
and Dmountains are fierce and Abold,
Deep Bmwaters Ahold Greflections of Dtimes lost long a-Ago.
I will Dheed every Gstory, take Dhold of my own dream,A
Be as Bmstrong as the Aseas are Gstormy, and Dproud as an Aeagles sDcream.
I will Bmride; I will Gfly,
Chase the Dwind, and Atouch the Bmsky.
I will Gfly,
Chase the wind, anDd touch the skAy. D

*Notes/Notation*
X: the string is either muted or not played.
0: the string is played open.
*The A chord during the second verse is played on the “go” part of the word “ago”;
I added a dash to illustrate that.*
*I am firmly rooted in omitting the B in the G chord, playing it as a 3X0033
rather than 320033, but either way will work.*
*The Bm chord is difficult for first timers–and even senior guitar players to some
degree–but just try it in barre form, and if that doesn’t work, see if doing
XX4432 works better.*
